I feel like I've been neglecting my blog lately, but the fact is, I really don't have much to talk about!  I've been enthralled with this Casey Anthony trial and have been spending a lot of my free time watching videos from the hearing and keeping up on recent happenings with her and her family by watching the news.  This trial has obviously infuriated a lot of people and it seems the most infuriated are Mothers.  I am one of them....  I'm not like going crazy over it like a lot of women are, but it is very upsetting to say the least.  Soooo...that's what I've been doing the past few days.  One thing I can say is that once Casey is out, like I dunno, I would hate to be her, I'm sure there are quite a few crazies out there who are going to be out to get her.  If I were her, I'd probably rather stay in jail or prison; it will definately be interesting to see what happens, but I urge everyone to not support any interviews/book deals, movies, etc. that she could profit from.  If you watch some of the video clips of Casey, and the way she behaves, I'm pretty sure she's got some kind of mental issue and it's scary that someone like her is going to be let free into the general population in a matter of days.  Let's hope and pray that she doesn't hurt anyone else.

On another topic, my Hubby told me a few days ago that his partner he works with went to Silverwood Theme Park for vacation over the 4th of July Holiday weekend and came back to tell him that while he was at Silverwood he saw two or three people who had ABS and arms like Kyla.  I thought this was bazar that he saw so many like her in the same place and at the same time!  Just this past week Kyla has been calling her little arm what sounds like "armie."  I'm not sure why she is calling it this, but I'm wondering if maybe at daycare or something they call her arm that or someone she is around is calling it that....OR if she is just realizing that it isn't the same as her other arm/hand.  She has never called it a hand before, and has only ever called her one hand "hand."  I'm wondering if maybe she is just finally at the age where she realizes it is different.  I don't think it'll be too much longer and she'll be able to communicate with us more about her difference.  We'll see....but I think that hearing lately and seeing more people who are in our community who are like her will help me to be able to be more positive about her difference when she does ask me.  It's definitely a fear of mine - I feel like when she asks me I'm going to just break down in tears or something and not even be able to talk to her about it, which is the very opposite of what I want and need to do.  Most of the people I do know who are like Kyla aren't from around here, but obviously the past two weeks has contradicted that.  Which is a positive thing!

One other thing....my Dad has been on my case lately about not putting Kyla's prosthetic on her.  Well...I'm not sure how else to tell him, other than repeat myself over and over that she doesn't want it and all she does is pull it off as soon as I put it on.  Very annoying...like I feel like by him being on my case about it all the time he's kind of like telling me I'm not being a good Mom or something.  Out of all of the people I know with arms like Kyla's, only one kid wears her prosthetic and even her Mom told me she doesn't want to wear it sometimes.  Well the kiddo just woke up from her nap, so I'm off!
